More and more creators and writers are joining Substack.

Why?

Because Substack is way more than just ‘a newsletter platform’.

I think of Substack less as ‘a platform’ (such as Medium, X, or YouTube) and more as a ‘personal book club’.

Imagine hosting a cozy gathering, where every attendee hangs onto your every word. That’s Substack.

Sit, read, and engage in intimate conversations.

Since Substack is changing a lot, there are so many awesome (underutilized) tools to discover.

Within the last past weeks, I received a lot of questions about how to start on Substack.

That’s why I decided to start a series where I demystify Substack and show beginners how to take action in this last quarter to finally start their exciting Substack journey.

In addition, I share proven tips and tricks to get seen, read, and paid.

This week’s YouTube tutorial is about starting a newsletter/publication on Substack:

In the first part of my “Substack for Beginners” series, I show you how to set up / start your Substack publication and what to call your baby.

🎁🚀 Surprise: Leave a comment on YouTube with your questions or suggestions and let me know which tools, and topics you’re most interested in learning more about!

You can win a special surprise! The lucky winner will be revealed in the next edition of my weekly tutorial newsletter edition!

In this tutorial, we cover:

00:00 Introduction

00:16 How to Create a Substack Account

00:48 Naming your Substack Publication

03:32 Substack Publication URL

04:03 Substack Custom Publication URL

04:46 Substack Creating Publication Name

05:19 Creating Your Substack Newsletter

08:08 Conclusion

👀 Psst! Hungry for more? I’m in the middle of creating a “Substack Mini-Course for Beginners” and a course that covers all Substack tools and how to use them.

🥁Last week’s winner is… drum roll, please
